This curvy girl's wardrobe staple!

Please don't let the height/weight mislead you- I have very thick thighs and a fairly big butt. I need to special-order "curvy" cut jeans because I have a size 6 waist and size 10-12 hips and thighs. I walk over 20 miles a week- these thighs are solid muscle. I was a size 2 before I had a kid, and even then, I still had problems finding pants to accommodate my very very pear shaped bottom.
These leggings are my best friend. I've earned the nickname "Meggings" from my friends, who expect to see me from September through March in my AA cotton spandex leggings. I only wear pants when I'm doing yard work. My first couple pairs lasted just shy of 10 years before they fell apart last year. I now have about 15 pairs of these, because I can't see myself wearing anything else when it's cold. I'm very active, and therefore pretty rough on my clothes. These lovely leggings last for years, as long as you wash them in a lingerie bag and hang dry.
Did I mention I'm a secondhand shopping goddess? I rarely pay retail for anything, because I'm so used to scoring high-end clothes for

I was given these as a gift to wear at yoga class from the girls at the class, guess it was a hint that the baggy jogging pants i was wearing were not attractive at class .
Me being a guy although i have a athletic build i was a little hesitant about wearing them in front of all the women in class since they bought me a small size and in the nude color, they fit tight everywhere and almost appear like i have no pants on at all.
Since that first time wearing them I've had nothing but compliments from all the girls in class and a few compliments walking to the car leaving or going to yoga class so not as hesitant wearing them now.
The girls at yoga class have asked to me to go for the cool down run after class wearing them, although the leggings are not see through the nude color makes it appear like you are nude until you are very close up so I'm not sure about 15 minutes of running in public.
Should i put myself a more standard color for running after class or am i being worried over nothing and should just wear the nude color for the run?

I bought these leggings for overall lounging and sleep wear because I was looking for something more comfortable. These are everything and more. As a guy there comfortable and able to be worn at all times of the day. I'm tempted to get a small because of the sagging over time but completely content with the medium. If your a guy and every thought there too fem. think again. Comfortability over peoples opinion any day. Thanks american apparel!!!!

Ive had these leggings for a few months now and I love them. They are great quality. They are pretty thick and not see through which is great for winter. For the most part they have stayed true to their size, however they are very long, so I have to roll them up at the bottom, but I am 5'2", so this is a problem with a lot of stuff.

so i know im rather petite, so i tried on the xs size and the fit was perfect, but it was too long. The leggings bunched up at my ankles. Then after 2 washes, the bum area got a bit saggy and overall the leggings stretched out a bit. But other than that, the thickness is great and the material is good but i would recommend (if you have short legs like me and is also petite) get one size smaller than your regular size because they will stretch

I fell in love with these leggings but unfortunately I had to return them which happens to every single pair of bottoms I purchase at american apparel. I'm 5'10 and have long legs. They hit right at the ankle but I wish they were at least another inch or 2 longer. I returned them because I didn't want to spend the money on something I wasn't completely satisfied with. They are really comfy and I love the material but they are only getting 3 stars for the length. PLEASE MAKE YOUR INSEAM LONGER! NOT EVERYONE IS UNDER 5'7"

Based on size charts I ordered a large and had to have them hemmed. They fit well but were too long. So then I ordered a medium and they fit well but were a little tight in the crotch. Perhaps I will just have to order large and get them hemmed. I have not washed them yet, but I hand wash and block almost anything except jeans so I expect they will last a while. I love that they are available in so many colors.

I bought these leggings in the year 2008. One in blue and one in brown, and to this day they fit well and look good. Today I bought three more: A red, an orange, and a purple one. Although i am 5 ft 11 in, the mistake that i made was to buy them in XL size because they are very long, they pass my waistline line, but they are true to size. The L size fits perfectly.

i have three pairs of these leggings and they all fit differently. ALL of them give me major cameltoe. The color fades within a few washes and one of the pairs got a hole within 5 minutes of wearing them for the first time. Overall, I am not impressed.

I wasn't too sure about these leggings in the beginning so I bought one just to try it out. When I got 'em, I tried it on and it was perfect! Perfect thickness and length. I loved it so much, I bought the 3-pack. I was so disappointed when I opened it. The ones I got this time are super duper thin and really long. I think I'm just going to order one at a time instead of ordering the pack.

Holes holes holes! This must have been cheaply made because not soon after I got a pair I also got a pair of growing holes right in the crotch. I sewed them back together only to find a new hole had developed. For just basic leggings these are not worth the money!

I had been really looking forward to getting these leggings after reading all the reviews that simply raved about the leggings. I at first really liked the leggings but after one wear they became saggy at the knees, ankles, and basically everywhere that wasn't the upper thigh. They were also very see through at the bum. I will not be purchasing these again.

I bought these after reading loads of good reviews about them, after only wearing them and washing them once, they went baggy at the knee's and the material on the leg went all twisted so I had to return them, wish I didn't have to. the thickness of them is perfect, not too thick and not too thin so you don't need to worry about your pants showing through.

i got these leggings like 2 weeks ago online, and ever since then i've loved them! they're thick enough so you don't see your underwear when wearing a thong, and they're higher-waisted, which i love. the only complaint i have though is that they're a little baggy at the bottom, but that's just because i'm so short. i got them during a 30% off promotion, so for 20 dollars i'm not complaining.

Another regret for not trying them on before buying them online.
I got a size S instead of XS because of the length. They turned out too loose from the knees along to the ankles, and it rolls up because their not tight enough to stay. The material is nice and comfortable, but I can only wear them at home :(
